Dixie Chicks
Artist Overview
Taking their name from the Little Feat classic "Dixie Chicken," the Dixie Chicks hit their stride in 1998 with their major label debut, WIDE OPEN SPACES, a wild blend of bluegrass, pop and country. Number one records, sold-out tours, Grammy nominations and a follow-up record soon followed, establishing them as major pop-country crossover superstars. The Chicks were the center of an enormous controversy over a very public criticism they made in 2003 of President of George W. Bush and his war in Iraq. And while protests and boycotts abounded, the Chicks returned triumphantly--sales figures as big as ever--with 2006's TAKE THE LONG WAY.
